Jesus: The Party-Pooper

January 28, 2018 | David Speakman

Series: In His Own Words: The Real Jesus

Scripture: John 2:13-22

“If God were not angry at injustice and deception and did not make a final end to violence- that God would not be worthy of worship… If I don’t believe that there is a God who will eventually put all things right, I will take up the sword and will be sucked into the endless vortex of retaliation.  Only if I am sure that there’s a God who will right all wrongs and settle all accounts perfectly do I have the power to refrain.”

—Miroslav Volf, Exclusion and Embrace

“Think how we feel when we see someone we love ravaged by unwise actions or relationships.  Do we respond with benign tolerance as we might towards strangers? Far from it . . . Anger isn’t the opposite of love.  Hate is, and the final form of hate is indifference . . . God’s wrath is not a cranky explosion, but his settled opposition to the cancer . . . which is eating out the insides of the human race he loves with his whole being.”

—Rebecca Manley Pippert

“Our Lord’s injunction to ‘judge not’ cannot be understood as a command to suspend our critical faculties in relation to other people, to turn a blind eye to their faults (pretending not to notice them), to eschew all criticism and to refuse to discern between truth and error, goodness and evil.”

—John Stott

“A Prayer of Tears:

Let me enter your heart, O God.
Let me see what breaks your heart.
Let my heart be broken, too.

Amen.”

—Richard Foster
